WHITEPAPER

Dashboard
Confessional

Every dashboard failure has a
human story. These are yours.

Dashboards were supposed to help teams make decisions. Somehow, they became a full-time job.

The Dashboard Confessional is our collection of anonymous quotes from analysts, data leaders, business leaders, and product teams wrestling with dashboard drama from legacy BI.

It's funny, brutal, and uncomfortably familiar: months of work for dashboards nobody uses, “just one more filter” requests that never end, and self-service analytics that still requires a support ticket.

Download to read the confessions, share them with your team, and start shifting from dashboards as dead ends to analytics that support real questions, follow-ups, and actions.
